Newcastle eye shock bid for Celtic shot-stopper Fraser Forster

Keeper Tim Krul is giving serious thought to severing his links with Newcastle, who are now compiling a list of possible summer replacements.

Krul was left devastated when coach Louis Van Gaal left him out of a recent Holland squad and there are now huge question marks over whether he'll be heading to the World Cup this summer.

He is also missing European football and believes he may need a bigger stage to further his international ambitions.

New reports claim Forster and PSV’s Jeroen Zoet are among Alan Pardew's main summer targets, while several Spanish and Italian sides also thought to be eyeing up the Dutch shot-stopper.

Newcastle will be faced with buying Forster back at a much increased price then they sold to the Scottish champs, who will want at least three times the £2.2m investment back from what they payed for Englishman back in 2012.

Tottenham have also been keeping tabs on him and will look to make a move if they lose Hugo Lloris to big-spending Paris St-Germain this summer.

A return to the English top flight would certainly help boost Forster's chances in the England set-up, while Celtic could decide to cash in on him before his contract starts to run down.
